'Bad Banana' Fish Report - And Other Excuses
fish catch for whole day on water:
3 smallish pintos
1 teenie triggerfish
Trip note: Passenger was found to have stashed a taboo banana in his lunch. Thrown overboard. Banana was consumed. Neptune's forgiveness beseeched
for sins of banana smuggler via Tecate offerings.
NOTE: Any further persons bringing bananas aboard will become chum.

I swear to god this is a true story: last year I take my kid and his college buddy fishing out of San Francisco Bay on a salmon fishing party boat -
5 hours into a complete boat skunk the captain walks around the boat to see what's up eating a frickin' banana. Guys were pulling out their fillet
knives, grabbing ropes and screaming about refunds. Cap'n throws the banana peal overboard and says we don't know how to fish and it's just an old wives tale anyway. Jesus Alou - I won't argue about his first observation but
I'll sure never fish with him again.

I have no superstitions at all and scoff at those who do. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
On the other hand, I DO know that BANanas are simply evil...the fruit anti-Christ.
Have you noticed that Fruit of the Loom underwear no longer has them?

Damn..I forgot to include that little smiley icon again.
Yesterday, we had a fun day running around after the banana episode. We got lazy, but..we did get up close and personal with 4 beautiful whales who
put on quite a show for us with their tails. So it was a successful day on the water, just not a successful fishing day. It happens.
In our case, we were cursed by the banana, naturally.....and the point of all this is:
It's a bum time for fishing now, but not for talking about fishing.
What are some of your good luck charms..or bad luck charms...when out fishing?

Our yellow panga is named "Chiquita Bonita" and she does pretty good finding fish.
Now regarding you Fruit of the Loom guys...maybe the marketing department felt it unnecessary to include a banana on the label since you provide your
own?  Two is too many, the other fruit characters would be jealous.

Sorry about the terse reply, Roger. I had to cut it short before I let the subject take over my imagination and get me in trouble.
I see Paulina took over where I had feared to tread. Thanks P.

Hey Pompano,
A friend of mine won't crawl on a boat without a banana in his duffle bag. A sportfishing Captain his entire adult life, 45 years now. The man can
catch fish, serious fish. He taught me alot in the short 10 years I was in the industry.
By far, the majority of hardcore fisherman and Captains can get down right violent if a yellow peel is found aboard.
Here's one. If a terrestial bird lands on your boat (usually a migrating bird that gets blown off shore), it is considered very good luck.
Whales are always good luck.

Which party boat? A few years ago I was on the Golden Eye fishing for tuna. My buddy brought a friend of his. Nothing went right, what little action
we had all came unbuttoned. Later that day my buddy's friend offers us a banana. He brought a freakin hand of bananas. He didn't know, and we didn't
tell him....our bad. No excuse for a captain.
Some people don't care about bananas, and that's there deal, but it totally messes with my chi. NO BANANA on my boat.

A local captain recently told us that the secret to a good day's fishing was to take apples. Don't eat them until on the way home.

When flyfishing trout, I never carry a black cat across the stream.

Hey Pomp - that reminds me - my nieghbor ties a mean streamer that's deadly float-tubing in Sierra lakes from the hair of his lab. He calls them "El
Dorado Bad Dogs". Looks like a #6 or #8 scud.
TonyC: can't remember the boat but it was out of the Emerville Marina.
